HTC M8 Specs, Features Leak [PHOTO]: Russian Source Leaks Real Image Of HTC M8 - See The Photo

HTC M8 leaks and rumors have been increasing to epic proportions lately due to the interest attracted by HTC's soon-to-be released flagship smartphone.

HTC M8, codename for the yet unannounced HTC One successor, has attracted a lot of interest that consumers are virtually drowning in a sea of leaked images and rumors.

The newest image for the HTC M8 is the latest drop in that sea, and it differs from some of the previous photos that HTC itself shot down for being fabricated. The difference is subtle, but there are a few elements that we think suggest that this time we might be looking at the real deal.

The image was shared through the @htcfamily_ru Russian Twitter account that has gained traction recently by publishing a lot of speculations and leaks for the HTC M8. Obviously, though, the image is not from Russia.

It has clearly been picked up from China, as you can see the abundance of Chinese characters on this latest leak. To be perfectly accurate, it seems that it has been picked up from Taiwan as those are the Traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan (they differ from the simplified characters used in mainland China).

There is another detail, though, that makes us think this image may be very close to the real HTC M8. It is the detail right between the upper front speaker and the front camera. This looks like an LED light for notifications of sorts, but whatever it is, fact remains that it is something new, something that has not been on the original HTC One, and with its weird elongated shape we don’t think we have seen this on any smartphone so far.

Of course, that is not impossible, but what’s more interesting is that some earlier leaks have appeared showing the very same detail from a different angle, and obviously taken by another person.

HTC M8 is set to be launched in late March.
